Excellent 8.7

Great Phone

I'm using this phone for the last 18 months; and this is a great phone; I have a work B'Berry so this one is so light I can forget about it.

PROS

Dirt Cheap.
Tank like built, you can virtually do anything and the phone still works.
Extremely low radiation levels; I used to get headache with similiar (or even 10 times pricier models from other major mfgrs).. with this baby I can talk for hours.
Great battery life; I charge it every 4-5 days.
USB Charging capability (don't think any other phone in this price bracket has it).
Good & Legible monochrome display ( I hate cheap color displays).

CONS

Keys need to be pressed hard; not good if you have to type a long SMS.
I hate all of the standard ring tones it has; but what's vibrator for.

Good 7.3

Locking

I had the same issue with the locking...Looks like you can turn the auto lock off under settings--> phone settings --> Keypad auto lock.
You can change the amount of time before it locks or just turn off the auto lock.

Motorola W156

Picked up one in Australia which was about the same cost as renting in Sydney with a short contract from Vodafone. Found it a little awkward at first since I use an LG in the States. Most annoying feature was the locking keypad (but I didn't inadevertently call anyone either). Decent sound and speakerphone feature was usable when I had to use my laptop. Charged relatively quickly - never used it so long that I can address battery life. I'd buy another one. It's light enough that I forgot it was in my pants pocket.

Pros

• Lightweight, intuitive design, charges quickly

Cons

• locking keypad, very elementary starting guide
